Fantastic birthday celebration.

We have been using VRBO for many years and this property was the cleanest, most well maintained of any we have ever rented. The beds are super comfortable, the living area inviting for family and friends to gather, and the open kitchen/dining room layout will certainly entice your group to grab a chair to supervise or jump in to assist. Let's not forget the front porch, relaxing rocking chairs and a huge stone and wood coffee table. Certainly, one of the most enjoyable trips for my family. Thank you, Rhode, for being a terrific host, we hope to return soon.

Wonderful house in a great location.

There were four of us who met when we were freshman at Penn State and we’ve been getting together in different locations for the past twenty years. Everyone enjoyed Greenville and loved the Lavinia house and location. It was so comfortable and was very “well equipped”. We loved it! Thank you Rhode and Mark Peggy

Perfect Location for a Concert

We traveled only as far as Asheville to stay in this lovely completely renovated craft style home. I picked it because we could walk to Bon Secours for the Hootie and the Blowfish concert. But we also walked to the Saturday Market. It was so clean and clutter free. Beds were comfy, nice big dining room for meals and games. Our host responded to my few questions quickly. A good time was had by all!

Loved the Lavinia House

Four of us stayed and we each had our own bedrooms - 2 upstairs and 2 downstairs. We loved the Kitchen/Dining area - spacious and well-equipped. It is not within walking distance to downtown Greenville, but it is a short and easy drive to get there. Communication with the host was excellent. If we should return to the fascinating small city of Greenville, we would stay at Lavinia House again.

Very Relaxing

An absolutely beautiful home inside and out in a convenient location. Wonderful antique furniture and decorum. Enjoyed the front porch rockers and chairs on deck. Host and owner readily helpful if and when needed Only place I have rented that offered quality disposables Downtown within a nice walk distance. I highly recommend this rental unit especially if you are somewhat nostalgic.

Family Gathering Heaven

Such a nice home and location. Easy walk to downtown, shopping, dining, 1.1 miles to the Reedy River. We celebrated the birthday of our 92 year old father/grandfather and it was made so special by the accomodations of the house. Games around the dining table and chatting, in the sitting room and morning coffee in the shade on the porch. Thanks for all Mark and Rhode!

I'm a Slob

I was so very embarrassed to return home to my own abode that doesn't begin to live up to the cleanliness of this home! Truly, not a speck of dust or dirt, even in the corners. Lovely quiet location, close to downtown Greenville (short car ride) to a church conference we attended for a week. When our conference is held in Greenville again, I will be booking Lavina House again!

About the host

Hosted by Rhode Thomas

Host profile image
Your hosts Mark and Rhode fell in love and dated in NYC. We started our married journey in NJ. We have two daughters, a son and a grandson. We enjoy traveling and have spent a year in Den Haag, the Netherlands were we had the chance to tour Europe. Mark's work has taken him abroad to Russia, Malaysia, South Korea, China and Uzbekistan. Our love for travelling has taken us to many beautiful places in the world. Rhode was born and raised in the Dominican Republic making her bilingual Spanish and English. She has the gift of hospitality and is very passionate about it.

Why they chose this property

We were attracted to this historic bungalow in downtown because of its location and charm. The front porch is inviting and the Bon Secour arena. can be seen a short block away. The dining room gets lots of natural light from the great bowed side windows and the large front window. The kitchen is spacious and open to the dining room making it a very nice place to gather. The living room provides another amazing space with a charming and bright reading alcove. The whole house has been tastefully decorated with every bedroom having a theme. Much love and time has been poured into the renovation, decorations and equipping of our Lavinia house. We trust our guests will enjoy all the loving touches added.

What makes this property unique

We loved the layout of the house. Considering that it is an older home, the high ceiling and open plan makes this a unique design.
